My only point was that you can't lessen the chance of your Amiga failing without using it less.

How many people do you know that treat stuff like sh*t but it still lasts longer than your pristine well looked after stuff? Loads I'm sure!

You can be sensible by adding dust covers, never drinking coffee over it, keeping it away from strong magnets, excessive temp extremes (like a loft paul!), small kids and vibration but when they go, they go.

And Paul excluded, they usually go while in use.

Admittedly, I've put my A1200 away for space reasons, and must confess I 'd probably still have it out if that weren’t the case. I simply love it too much and for the reasons TikTok said.
